Why you need to step outside your comfort zone

Publicerat av

Have you ever felt the urge to try something new but hesitated, thinking it might be too challenging or uncomfortable? You’re not alone. This comfort zone of ours is a familiar, safe space where we feel in control and where nothing can ever threaten us. However, while it’s a cosy place to be, it’s also where you become stagnant. Stepping outside this comfy zone can help you find new opportunities and ways to develop. And what is more, you get to know yourself at a deeper level. Staying within your comfort zone can be detrimental in the long run, since there will be no room for you to grow; When you stick to what you know, you miss out on learning new skills and gaining new experiences. What is more, you might miss out on opportunities, since great opportunities often lie beyond the borders of your comfort zone. And lastly, over time, not challenging yourself can lead to a sense of stagnation and dissatisfaction. What are the benefits of stepping outside your comfort zone? First …

Take your power back

Publicerat av

Lately I’ve been noticing how much focus I’ve been putting on the external world. Like if something good happens then I can be happy, and not the other way around; I am happy -> I notice all the good already in my life, or good things come to me. Sometimes I find myself struggling with being happy when nothing fun and exciting is happening. I have been dependent on the outside world to be a certain way in order to be fully content. Hence, now learning to shift my mindset to just being, happy and content with what is, no matter what happens. ”I am exactly where I need to be right now.” – a favorite mantra of mine. Effortlessly existing without the need to chase anything. What is meant for us will come to us, as long as we stay open and take aligned action. However, being patient, is not my strength. Always wanting things to happen now, or even better, yesterday… But I’ve noticed that when I’m consistent with my daily habits I …

Mindsets for growth

Publicerat av

A healthy mind is a loving mind; towards the self as well as others. As life is constantly moving forward, moment by moment, we too need to learn how to best adapt to the circumstances and changes happening both within and without. Below you will find a few powerful mindsets to adapt in your day-to-day life to make it more prosperous and rewarding. An abundance mindset – growth mindset ”There is enough for everybody’s need, but not for everybody’s greed”. – Mahatma Gandhi There is plenty for everyone to go around. There is no lack in this universe; it’s simply a belief that you have been telling yourself all these years. Honor other people’s successes, be genuinely happy for people living their best lives. If another person succeeds, it doesn’t mean that there will be less for you. Instead, regard it as a source of inspiration. Just look at nature – she’s filled with beauty. Just look at the sky – it’s filled with endless possibilities. Just feel the earth – it’s filled with comfort. …

Embracing silence

Publicerat av

”A quiet mind is able to hear intuition over fear.” In a world that is constantly on speaker mode, or so it seems. Noice, opinions, judgments, the news. Look here, read this, like this, validate me, think this, believe this, be this. Be still. Be aware of what you consume. You can choose what information houses your brain. However, I agree, it can be difficult to find moments of peace and rest when we’re constantly being bombarded with stimuli. But without the comfort of the silence we won’t find the answers we are looking for. You see, the answers you seek, already rest within. If you only took the time each day to simply sit with yourself, to enjoy your own precious company, you would eventually realise the wisdom that lies beneath all those outer, dense layers you have collected throughout the years. I don’t mean that you can’t be inspired by others, and seek stimulation from the external. Of course you can! And you should. Inspiration and worldly experiences are amazing and make us …

Dear March…

Publicerat av

… give me a winter to wake up, and deserve you. ”I just want to breathe in the ocean for a little while, forever.” Can you hear spring whisper softly in the garden? Her warm caress melting frozen hearts. Time to be bold, take the leap and know, on cloudy days the sun is still there, underneath. Darling, I believe we’ll become dearest of friends. I wish to see you laugh. I hope you make me laugh. Oh how you melt my heart – come, dance with me. Darling, spin with me. And before I fall asleep, remember, gently kiss me on my cheek, and know, you’ll always be the one I seek. March is for the sun so boldly shining. Coming alive. Quietly crying for the moon, and the stars. Time standing still, frozen, for us. Snow will be falling, flowers start blooming. A precious mix when nature can’t decide. 4 am, and my mind intense, the breath calm. Smelling hope, kissing the soft morning rain, moving with the waves. They say she loves too …

9 ways to turn your day around

Publicerat av

”Find the courage to let go of what you can’t change.” We’ve all been there – feeling unmotivated and uninspired. Stuck in our own minds. But know that you can take your day, and life, in a new direction at any time. Even the smallest of changes, and adjustments can turn a mundane routine into a new exciting one; it’s all about perspectives. Every now and then it’s good to change things up, to keep thoughts and routines fresh, in order to stay motivated and inspired. It’s easy to become under-stimulated if you keep on doing the same things over and over again. And when things don’t happen as quickly as you would have hoped for it’s easy to lose the creativity, and the motivation to move forward. You might not see instant results, something negative happens to you or you might just wake up one morning feeling unmotivated for no particular reason. In these situations it’s even more important that you hold on to hope, and try to see the moment for what it …

A child-like wonder

Publicerat av

At times it’s easy to lose touch with the simple pleasures of life. However, don’t let the stresses of grown-up life overshadow the child-like wonder that resides within you. Nurturing your curiosity and awe can bring immense joy and positivity into your life. Children possess an innate ability to find wonder in the smallest of things—the beauty of a butterfly, the sound of raindrops, or the taste of a favourite treat. As we grow older, such moments of enchantment can become scarce, but know, they are not lost forever. By consciously cultivating a child-like wonder, you can rekindle the joy that comes from experiencing the world with fresh eyes. One way to tap into your inner child-like wonder is to slow down and allow yourself to be present in the moment. Children are experts at immersing themselves fully in whatever they are doing, whether it’s playing with toys, exploring nature, or engaging in some kind of imaginative play. As adults, we can learn from this by setting aside time to engage in activities that spark …
